Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

..has been the sort of day that necessitates me coming home, firing up the PC and blowing sprites up as messily as possible in Red Alert 2.

I'll post again later when I'm not Miss Bitey McSnarleson :D

(Nothing major, just work stress that Needs To Be Dealt With)

Hello, lovely people! Gosh, it's amazing what an hour spent blowing up tanks will do to improve a mood :D

I have no idea why I was so grouchy this afternoon. I mean, I know what set me off, but it wasn't a big thing (someone shovelling a job off on to me they didn't want to do) so it shouldn't have bothered me as much as it did. I was getting upset on behalf of my team of Home Risk Assessors who are getting more work than realistically we can sustainably handle but it's not as if I'm doing it on purpose or the people who request things are being frivolous, it's just the way it is. I think something is bothering me, but my subconscious hasn't decided to tell me what it is yet. I've not been sleeping well this week, been restless as heck, so that with the Snarly McBiterson bit suggests I'm stewing on something. I'll work on it :)

Had to laugh (wryly) yesterday. Was in full snooze mode in the morning, did not want to get out of bed at all, until my brain finally did the mental thing of screaming in my ear that I WAS ON RECEPTION ROTA DUTY THIS MORNING AT 9AM WHICH WAS ONLY 15 MINUTES AWAY, YOU MORON!!! :P Ever seen a dormouse levitate out of bed? No? Pity you weren't here.

So I skidded in to work about 4 minutes late and naturally it was the day of my 1 to 1 with my line manager. Timing! Polite but pointed suggestions were made that I should be in before 9 on morning when 'm on Reception duty. Fortunately my boss has a sense of humour and is lovely to boot. Reason #24983984 I love my boss: she asked how I was, as I looked tired, and she was worried I was stressed over losing Rob T Furball and wanted to make sure I was doing OK :) Aww :)

*streeetches* Now I may wander off and blow some more things up. Or listen to a Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap episode. Or even read, I have some good books that need to be read and returned to the library. It's good to have lots of nothing to do :D
